Providence Pinhole

If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can “feature” it by choosing the “Spotlight” button.

When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.

If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our
Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can
enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the
contest winnings.

Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work,
find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry
fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member
who shot the image).

This photograph of the Providence, RI skyline was created using my Diana+ camera's pinhole feature. This was a 15 minute exposure from my tripod set up in Prospect Terrace Park.

Many beautiful images of Providence are made from this location. On any given day, dozens of pro, amateur, and student (RISD is close by) photographers and painters set up at this location. I admit my plastic Diana+ looked pretty goofy on top of a tripod. At one point a curious couple walked up to my camera and stuck their faces in front of it while I was taking another 15 minute exposure! That image didn't come out, unfortunately. I was very curious to see what it would have looked like!!!

Nicoleand I froze our toes off that afternoon/night. When its warm outside, we spend much of our time here.

Created using my Diana+ using the pinhole feature and panoramic film mask with expired AGFA RSX-II slide film. Positive scanned with my Epson v700 Perfection scanner. No digital manipulation used!

it really was just a lucky guess. the manual calls for a 1-2 hour exposure at night and (as you know Nicole, since you were there) it was between day and night, so i kinda estimated. also, it was wicked cold out and i dont think we wanted to hang around for hours...
